Looks like this might not happen. Cubune reports that Sweeney says that he doesn't know if he'll play but that he is definitely going because he wants to be on the field with the best of the best. Could Sweeney take up a spot and not play?

The answer is no. Sweeney can still appear at the game but he would be replaced by another player. During the player introductions, Gene Honda would say "Selected as an All Star but unable to play due to injury, from the Kansas City Royals, Miiiikkkee SwEEEEENey!!!"

I'm sure I am the minority when I say I think Gene Honda absolutely sucks.

He is obnoxious, and I just hate the way he sounds.

Maybe if we give Ligue and Dybas front row seats Sweeney will not come since he's in no shape to kick their asses; he will really feel left out then.
